    No, read the changelog (1.7.9alpha1) and the latest manual...

    "client-echo" -- (NP_TCP configurations only) sends the Telnet protocol
         WON'T ECHO or WILL ECHO commands (depending on whether VALUE is
         true or false, respectively)...

    So 1 means WON'T ECHO and 0 means WILL ECHO
